FamilySearch Indexing Update

March 4, 2009: The FamilySearch indexing application is available in three new languages:

• Italian,
• Portuguese, and
• Russian.

These languages are in addition to English, French, German, and Spanish. They have current indexing projects in all of these languages except Portuguese. They will be introducing a Portuguese project in the near future.

Volunteers can help with any of the projects of interest by registering or logging in at FamilySearchIndexing.org.
